Publisher Comments:

Young children will be reassured by the gentle, glowing figure of Grandfather Twilight, whose nightly walk through the woods signals the onset of night and whose special task each evening is to place the moon in the sky. Perfect for bedtime sharing, the luminous illustrations enhance the warm serenity of the text. Full color.

Looking for a gentle, religion free tale? This wonderful book is packed with flowing prose and complemented by delicate illustrations. A story of how the moon rises at twilight, it follows an old man and a single pearl. I purchased this book on a lark. The description looked interesting. What Grandfather Twilight ended up becoming (quickly!) is one of my favorite children's books. I couldn't recommend Berger's masterpiece any more. It is truly a must-buy.
